There are fewer occupations or professions worthy of erstwhile heads of state. erstwhile presidents frequently run their own foundations, institutes or go to global organizations. This second way was intended by Andrzej Duda.
Duda had a dream.
However, contrary to his tenure, he did not build a strong global position. His career in the EU institutions is closed to him, and the UN is alternatively beyond his reach. Andrzej Duda wanted to be in the planet sports authorities.
The perfect choice was to be the global Olympic Committee (based in Switzerland). but nobody's waiting for Duda with his arms wide open. On the contrary, the question of his candidacy is treated marginally.
The erstwhile president himself didn't say he was going to the ICC. specified messages were distributed widely, but the alleged surroundings of Andrzej Duda. So it was known that Duda would very much like to associate with the planet sports authorities. but he doesn't have much to offer.
On 12 December 2024, the Management Board of the Polish Olympic Committee approved his advice as a associate of the global Olympic Committee. president Radosław Piesiewicz lobbied powerfully for this solution. He's rather a controversial figure, without much support in the ICC. It besides shortly turned out that a associate of the ICC is not so easy to stay.
MKOl sessions are organised all fewer months. Members of this home then vote in favour of fresh representatives. They are mostly people associated with sports for a long time. specified experience cannot boast. The only known connection to sports is that he skis.
Psiewicz and Duda were expected to know the erstwhile MKOl chief. However, this was replaced by a fresh person. Kirsty Coventry announces the beginning of the Committee to fresh countries and the pursuit of a sex parity. Meanwhile, Europe already has overrepresentation of members in the ICC.
Obstacles pile up
Let's add that candidates specified as Duda, the MKOl has respective twelve so far. Many of them have been waiting for a position for years, many are far more celebrated in the planet of sport.
According to Sports ServiceFacts, the issue of the candidacy of Andrzej Duda does not occupy the ICC.
"At least nothing has been said about president Duda in the ICC for the time being," admitted 1 of the activists close to the committee in a conversation with SportyFacts WP.
That's not all. 1 country may have 1 permanent member. The favourite for this function is the well known and highly rated in the MKOl Maja Włoszczowska, presently acting there on behalf of the players.
Let us add that working as a associate of the ICC does not affect advanced earnings. According to SportsFacts, members of the ICC receive 450 euros of regular diet and an yearly 7,000 lump sum to run the office.
